How do we safely test and remove acoustic popcorn ceilings in older Tumwater homes?
In Tumwater homes built prior to 1980, acoustic ceiling texture must be tested for asbestos under PSCAA Regulation 1 and WA L&I WAC 296-62. When verified asbestos-free (<1%), Solis executes dustless wet-scraping under full poly containment, re-fastens loose drywall screws into ceiling joists every 7 inches, applies 2 to 3 coats of finishing compound to float rough builder Level 2 seams flat, and finishes with high-solids PVA primer and dead-flat ceiling paint.
